Re: [lisp/packages.el:locate-data-file] Allow gzipped files in data-directory-list

Karl> The files I had in mind Fine. Go ahead and restrict the behavior to those files. But you can't. Evaluate data-directory-list. On my system it's got dozens of directories in it (all the packages). I have no objection to changes intended to support Debian policy. But your patch essentially imposes that policy ("be prepared to read gzipped data files") on the whole world. You have to be able to turn it off.
